From Andrew Ferguson  (the scotch Guy at KWM);

KWM has brought in 96 bottles from a cask of whisky we’ve shared with McLeod Dixon LLP. The cask was selected by myself and Don Tse with McLeod Dixon.  We have 96 numbered bottles, beautifully packaged in a wooden box which swaddles the bottles in the Ancient Ferguson Hunting Tartan.  The bottles are cask strength, 54.5% and are individually number 1-96.

And a tasting note (my first – preliminary):

Colour: Macallan 18 on a good year, dark amber and light mahogany.

Nose: Sawdust strikes me first, then the Pedro Ximenez sherry notes; this whisky is sweet and spicy, figs and raisins, marmalade and baklava.

Palate: Starts huge for a Tullibardine, big, sweet and spicy! The sweet sherry notes dominate with hints of cedar, clove, nutmeg and black licorice. Rich though this whisky is it has a gentler side too with soft candied fruits, subtle vanilla and hints of light Christmas cake.

Finish: Long, sweet and very pleasant.

 Please advise if you would like a bottle, in particular a numbered one!
